North American small cells deployments and increased demand for enterprise-to-data center connectivity.

Both trends tie into a larger marketplace focus on network performance, as network operators and service providers continue investing in network enhancements and delivering value-added services to customers, they increasingly are finding it necessary to operate in a multi-vendor equipment environment making sustainable, end-to-end performance more challenging.

A focus on open and standards-based network performance monitoring solutions like those Accedian provides allows operators to create a unified instrumentation layer from existing network assets instead of relying on proprietary equipment from a single vendor. This results in a more competitive infrastructure vendor environment to the benefit of network operators.
